in the Commonwealth There are 342

the women paid nearly two million dollars
(sl 500 GOD. In the cities of Boston. Chel-
sea, Newton and Brookline, women paid
sl,4is,479, being an average of Sill, and
the equivalent of s5 polls for each woman.
In Newton one woman paid a. much tax
as l,424 men. In Milford PA women
were taxed on property, and l,5l3 men
paid a poll tax only. The women paid
nearly three times as much as the men.
In some towns the proportion of taxes on
women to poll-taxes on men was still larg-
er. But every man has vote, and every
woman has none. Is this justice or fair

educated at West Point, and afterward served
IN the Confederate army; so he came within
the penalties prescribed by the Fourteenth
amendment. But on Feb. 6, 1867, before
that amendment was adopted, he received a
free and unconditional pardon from President
Andrew johnson, and now the issue was as
10 whether that pardon merely relieved him
from the possibility of punishment, or
whether it operated as complete bar to any
subsequent law disqualifying him from hold
ing Office. The Judiciary committee of the
senate took the former view, the president
and Attorney General Garland the latter;

doing good work and he was determined that

moss grown shaft of old English comedy,
and now he has struck pay dirt. His theatre
is a veritable gold mine.

ALEXANDER DUMAS ed his healCn ana
destroyed his talents permanently. The
present Dumas is an octoroon, as his
father was a quadroon and grandfather
a mulatto; but in France this is no barrier to
distinction, either in society or literature
The younger Dumas is 60 years old, but far
better preserved than his father was at that
age, and might easily pass for man of 49,
He is tall and well built, with a dome like
head which suggests mental greatness to the
most casual observer. His eyes are bright
blue, yet he has the crisp, curly hair of a mu-
latto, and shows the African traits, even more
than did his father His history and career
are full of sadness, but the end has been sue
cess.
His mother was uneducated and rather vlo-
lent in temper-not married to his father
But the elder Dumas was so pleased with the
boy she brought him that he contemplated
marrying her, and was only prevented by her
uncongenial disposition. The son was shy,
timid and fragile, but early showed genius.
His schoolfellows tormented him almost to
madness. They tainted him with the illegit-
imacy of his birth, and this is one otfense he
has never forgiven; though affable to all the
world beside, his house is closed and his hand
withdrawn from all who thus reproached
him. At the age of 20 he was recognized
as a genius but had earned no money by
his pen; for few years he lived in whirl of
dissipation and gayety, then at the age of %
found himself an orphan, without money and
hopelessly in debt. He retired to his room
with loaded pistol to commit suicide, when
the thought struck him, ''Why not try litera-
ture more thoroughly? He then wro:e
Camille" This brought him fame, and for
tune soon followed. He married Russian
princess, and has charming home on the
Avenue de Villiers. He has two daugh-
tiers, the married one being Mime. Lipman,
and is devoted to his home life. His dramas
seem to gain in popularity with time; so he is
considered among the most fortunate of men.
